Am I stupid?

After a horror start to the year i have had to make numerous trades to fix my side and consequently i have 4 trades left 260k and a backline made of Hanley, Danyle Pearce, Goodes Vlaustin Birchall, and Heartless ...(42 65 61 31, 40 and 79) this week. I also have Webster and Colquoun as an emergency.
Plan is to bring in Nick Rewoldt for Macaffer this week and i will have a full midfield and forward line with Zorko as a bench sitter as i have the centre link through Stevie J.
Vlaustin is going to drop a lot in price this week and I need to free up cash so that i can trade in a ruckman later (currently I have Kreuzer Blicavs and Nicholls who i can live with for a while and both are still going to make some money)
I have Staker as an emergency in the forward line but no link to the backline for cover... so i am thinking of bringing in..... Jack Watts(who is back forward)!!! for Vlaustin. Is this the worst idea in the world given lack of trades and no flexibility in the backline?
The only other one i can see who can help is Broughton, but he is slightly more expensive. Anyone got any thoughts?

you are certifiable. like, full f nuts!

your backline is (no real offense intended) a trainwreck, AND, you only have 4 trades left, AND, you want to do a trade outside of the backline, AND, that trade leaves zorko on the bench.

holy hell man, get a grip!

given that backline and the amount of trades ... i would say u are well up that s creek

Well if that's your backline and you only have four trades left, hell you might as well trade in Jack Watts. Safe to say that the Supercoach season has already gone extremely pear-shaped for you.

Ha yeah its shocking I am not disagreeing with you. Charlie Dixon totally stuffed it up for me. I traded him in for Gibbs when Gibbs got injured cos i had a feeling Gibbs was going to be out for a long time, I was right about that, unfortunately Dixon was out longer. And because of that I kept a hold of him for 7 weeks hoping he would be back after the byes,(and made 4 trades involving Luke Brown docherty colquoun and webster trying to avoid donuts) Then i read that he probably wont play next week either so that was the last straw... traded him for Hanley... Sums up my year....
