Watching AFL360 last night Gerard mentioned Ryley Stoddard and Mark Robinson said he had written an article in the Herald Sun about him and his friendship with Cooper Ratten (Brett's son) who was killed in a car accident.
Did anyone read it and I don't subscribe?
New Swan Ryley Stoddart dedicating career to Cooper Ratten
Category: | Herald Sun
Ryley is living his dream. He was drafted by the Sydney Swans at the end of last year and is itching to make his debut.
Cooper is not. The son of former Carlton champion and coach Brett Ratten, Cooper was 16 when he was killed in a car accident at Yarra Glen in August 2015...

I read that article....it was pretty sad. He was very close to Cooper, Brett said they went everywhere together, played footy together, stayed friends when one of the families moved to another town. Now he plays footy in honour of his mate. Seems a pretty level headed kid, the sort of kid the Swans love to have at the club.
Is there anything legal stopping the swans from posting this story on their website i.e. copywright etc?
If not it would be a nice gesture for Ryley
