Watson was suspended at the end of last season following revelations of Essendon’s supplements controversy.

The 2012 Brownlow Medalist has spent time living in New York and is currently holidaying in Croatia with teammates.

Essendon is yet to determine exactly when suspended players must pledge their commitment to the club, but that day is nearing.

Jobe’s father Tim said his 31-year-old son had not told him wether he would return to the AFL or not.

Michael Hurley and Michael Hibberd are also yet to recommit to Essendon.
