Strengths: Nick is a lightly built wingman with good speed and a penchant for carrying the footy. He is very dangerous in space and his trademark move is a 30m run followed by a goal on the run.
Batchelor is good overhead for his size, has clean hands and is prepared to use his left foot. Knows where the goals are.
Weaknesses: At only 68kg, would need a few seasons in the gym before been ready for AFL. Tends to play unaccountable football and can struggle if tightly checked by his direct opponent.
Footydraft.com comment: Can look very good on his day but found the going tougher in the final two games of the carnival when he was tightly marked. Worth a rookie listing.
