As one of the most fabled all-time players for the Port Adelaide Football Club and the club's best player during its most dominant seasons many South Australian football historians have questioned Oliver's absence from the Australian Football Hall of Fame. Michaleangelo Rucci has suggested that the lack of film footage for pre-war players from outside Victoria makes it hard to induct otherwise worthy inductees, this being the case for Oliver. Football historian and editor Adam Cardosi noted that only three pre-World War I players have been inducted since 1996 and suggests that Oliver should be one considered beyond the Victorian boarder. In 2019 Neil Cross observed that the Hall of Fame selection committee was "made up of 11 Victorians, one South Australian and one Western Australian, it was inevitably biased towards those who played out their careers in Victoria".
