The one thing it has going for it is the roof. When it’s used.

Marvel better for the supporter in every facet. Waverley a really big ground that promoted good footy and excellent as a TV game, but hard to get to back then (no train line) and trying to get out of the car park took forever. Seating wise, you were much further away at Waverley and just as a facility, it was a much poorer experience.Speaking of Waverley, I never had the chance to go there for an AFL game, but when compared to Marvel, which one was/is better for watching the footy? And why? I've heard bad things about Waverley but is it justified? And compared to its replacement, how does it stack up?
Well your bigger supporter clubs like Richmond and Collingwood all play at the MCG and mostly, your haters derive from your diehards that love it there and make out like it’s some massive inconvenience to go 10 minutes down the road.What is it at the Docklands that Melbourne people don't like? As a visitor once or twice a season I love going to the Docklands to watch footy, it's a great viewing ground and thats kinda all I am looking for as a spectator.
What is it that makes it so unpopular with the locals?

Waverley was magnificent. You could sit anywhere you wanted. Junk food and real beer was plentiful.
Yes, it was a nightmare to get out of after a big game, but it crapped all over Marvel.
Waverley had a great surface. For playing, it was better. Just about all aspects of Marvel for a punter are better, but on the age of the building, so they should. In the VFL’s defence, the train line from Glen Waverley was promised to be extended and include VFL park.Speaking of Waverley, I never had the chance to go there for an AFL game, but when compared to Marvel, which one was/is better for watching the footy?

You don't think the railway line does a fine job of acting as a barrier by itself?It’s location has completely destroyed the Docklands area by acting as an enormous barrier between the CBD and the waterfront. The CBD should just continue down to the water.
