I have come across the odd mention of Waverley Park on WOOF, but not much more. From memory, the comments were far from complimentary.

What did you think of Waverley Park?

What were some of the great games that you saw there?

Are you glad that it is gone?
It was cold, wet and windy. It was a real pain in the arse to get too as well. It was built in the wrong spot.

Only went there a few of times but they were memorable.

I witnessed the Cats/Saints final there with Geelong winning by 7 and Brownless(8) and Lockett(9) putting on a show.

Also was there the night the lights went out and also caught the 4th quarter the following Tuesday(?) night. Stange experience.

Im glad its gone.
