A return to Port Melbourne under coach Gary Ayres has done wonders for Nathan Batsanis after a stint in the SANFL.
Batsanis was invited to train with Richmond over the pre-season and appears to be on the cusp of winning a second AFL rookie spot at the Tigers, who have shown the most interest so far.
Still 25, Batsanis is an experienced midfielder and is also quick around the stoppages.
Batsanis is likely to play for Richmond’s VFL team if he isn’t selected by its AFL affiliate.
He showed strong bursts in the VFL, and while there were no stand-out performances, he has shown enough in the past to suggest that he is ready made for another crack in the AFL ranks.
