Can someone talk me out of bringing in Josh Kennedy (WCE) over upgrading my backline? Is the only argument volatility?

My reasoning:
Backline is my weakest group and needs a number of upgrades - Shaw, Rich, Tippa, DBJ, Wagner (trading out for JK via DPP), Hartley (Houli, Tucker)
however the available options are not as cheap as Kennedy, are averaging less, and have higher BEs (e.g. Simpson, Rance, etc)

Midfield is solid - Danger, Treloar, Parker, Ablett, Viney, Priddis, Libba, Wells (J Smith, R Davis, D MacPherson)
and premo mids available are all expensive (e.g. pendles, hanners) so don't see the value in upgrading here just yet...

Forwards could use an upgrade (not as desperate as down back, but still) - Zorko, Martin, Hall, Kerridge, Adams, Petracca (BenKen, M Brown)
J Kennedy is the third highest averaging forward (after Zorko and Waite) and is cheaper than the rest of the guys around him (Merrett, Dalhaus, Montagna), has a lower BE, and gets the Suns this weekend..

Realise he is likely to be a bit more volatile than most premos, but I'm struggling to justify any other move.

On a side note, my other trade this week is likely to be a Gawn to Goldy swap..

Why do you still have Houli ????

Surely 8 weeks is too long to hold.

Yep, not planning to hold.. Have had enough cash to make the trades I've wanted to, so opted to drop players who were going to lose me money (over Houli who's price is obviously not moving)
