The BFNL's league best and fairest award will be presented at the Michelsen Medal function at the Bendigo Club on Sunday.
Oliver was a runaway winner of last season's award and has enjoyed another fine season for the Dragons.
She will face stiff internal opposition for votes from midcourter Brooke Bolton.
Despite missing a handful of games, Gisborne's Maddie Stewart should poll well.
Kyneton's Emma Webb and Maryborough's Alicia Cassidy are both former winners and perennial strong vote gatherers and will be in strong contention after great seasons for their club.
Cassidy's Magpies teammate Laura Hurse is another with strong claims, alongside young Kangaroo Flat goal shooter Ruby Barkmeyer and Kyneton’s Michelle Fletcher.
Selections: 1. Heather Oliver; 2. Brianna Dalrymple-Monro; 3. Maddie Stewart.
