### Julie Dolan Medal

The medal is awarded annually to the player voted to be the best player in the A-League Women, the top women's football (soccer) league in Australia. The award is named after former Matildas Captain and football administrator Julie Dolan. The format was changed for the 2015–16 season, with a panel featuring former players, media, referees and technical staff, who voted on each regular-season match.
