Pioneer Sal Rees nominated herself for the 1995 men’s draft. Following her death in 2024, Rees was remembered as an “unheralded warrior” by fellow advocate Leesa Catto.

Rees’ nomination was accepted, but once her move gained media attention, the AFL was forced to amend the draft rules. (Photo: sherrinaus and darcyvee on Instagram)
