Fairly unimportant. He's viewed as best 22 by the coach and in theory he's good enough to be and is pretty decent at most things (obvs lost that burst since the patella stuff though), but he's not really elite at anything so we're not losing a vital contributor, and if anything are removing a selection headache. I'd have thought he would've been turned into a fwd-mid a bit like what happened in his last year at Hawthorn and to Taylor Adams last year, but in the practice matches that didn't really happen - he played a lot of wing vs West Coast where he was decent, and I think played a similar role vs Port where he was bad (not a good day for wingers in general tho coz we couldn't get the ball out of d50).

Yeah Pearce to Daniher and McDonald to Hipwood I'd expect. Cameron is a bigger question mark: Clark went to him last time and did ok, and he'd probably still be our best matchup but for the fact that Clark's now expected to be our biggest rebounder now that Young is a mid and Wagner is out. With that in mind, would probably expect Aish to get the job on Cameron coz he's got the experience and probably is the best body type even if Cameron would get him for speed (wouldn't be wholly unsurprised if Hughes gets the job, shouldn't be Ryan coz we want him a bit freer and definitely shouldn't be Worner).
