D90 with older AF lenses

I have a Nikkor ED-IF AF 80-200 F2.8 and a AF 300 F4 both pre 3D Matrix metering vinatage that work well with a old N8008 flim body.. I can't afford the coin to replace these lenses, but adding a digital body is possible. The D90 still has the lens motor to drive these lenses.

My questions are

1) Will the D90 AF system be hampered with these lenses?

2) What metering modes will work with these lenses?

3) I primarily shoot sports, would I be better off biting the bullit for a 80-300mm range zoom with VR?

The D90 should work fine with those lenses. I use an 80-200 f/2.8 AF-D with it myself. Don't know what metering modes will be available to you though. that 80-300VR is very nice but costs some serious money. I couldn't see anyone who is not making a living out of photography spending the money for one.
