We’re all pretty aware that Geelong’s salary cap is an absolute rort. Will be plenty of outside the cap games being played that the AFL turn a blind eye on
Any proof for this spurious claim?

Just a well run club that manages its cap well and doesn't overpay for role players. Stars only get top dollar.

Example: Perryman at the Pies.

Announces it right before the B&F that he's no-showing. In the past he's posted oiled shirtless photos the moment we won r24 and locked in finals, and posted bulge on Instagram during the Brownlow. Bloke's walking out giving us the finger. Is he that shitty about not having a leading inside midfield role in a team with Bont, Libba, Treloar, prime Macrae for a good while, and Dunkley for a good while?

I would say the answer is YES
 
can anyone explain why the dogs are happy for him to go? and have been for some time?

Richards has been a better fit for their midfield. Actual defensive presence along with speed and power.

I don't think they will miss Baz in the short term but might miss him in the long term as Libba and Treloar enter their twilight years.

I can see Sanders replacing Libba but don't think they have a Treloar replacement yet. Smith has the skill set to match Treloar.

Not going to speak about a Bont replacement. Some players are irreplaceable.

The emergence of Richards as a midfielder is the big reason why we’re not too fussed about losing him on field. His personality change over the last few years is a more personal reason. He’s gone from a humble, driven kid, to someone who’s so focused on his own brand that he’s stopped caring about anything else. He’s become very shallow.
