[1] Like another draftee that year, Jamie Cox, Oliver was also a gifted cricketer and captained Victoria at the Australian Under-17 Championships in 1987/88.
Oliver made six AFL appearances in 1993 and performed well when put at full-forward, filling in for an injured Stephen Kernahan.
In 2000 he had reached the one hundred goal mark for a third time, having also achieved the feat back in 1991 after a strong finals series.
He also won three Castlemaine "Best and Fairest" awards and towards the end of his time at the club became just the second player in BFL history to reach 1000 career goals.
Although the vote count was close enough to be decided by preferences, Oliver was unable to stop Maree Edwards from retaining the seat for Labor.
