That's a puffer by the way.
I was trying to think of if it was some musician with a fishy name (FISHER? He still going?)Puffer fish that is.
I think these might be my favourites now.Do you have a favourite? Mine is the Spotted Garden Eel.

Photo is ~original content~ by the way, I took this photo at the sumida aquarium in Tokyo.
Many fish there to gaze on, and penguins too!!!
Very well "spotted" PG. (that was a pun).I think these might be my favourites now.
Also how much do I love those fish-naming people! The sheer brilliance of taking an eel where the mature eel is clearly striped and call it spotted. Not to mention, that’s like no kind of garden I’ve ever seen.
The Herald Sun in about 2016 or so did a full page player photo each week for every club. The Bernie one was a ripper so I took it to work and pinned it above my desk. He lasted three weeks before some management lunatic (purportedly a Demons fan but I’m not so sure) said I had to take it down because the office design was agency colours and Bernie was disrupting the colour palette or something.The souvenir eels I got have both spots and stripes fyi. Sparkles too.
Don't ask me why I have Bernie Vince on my fridge lmao

He was too - the chosen colour palette was a sort of greenish grey like you might find in a non-critical ward of a psychiatric institution.
Bernie had a decent few weeks. He came off the wall but was stuck instead on the general protected safe area. Once moved he was stuck for a bit to my personal filing cabinet. When that got objections he spent a day on the women’s toilet doors (he was well popular by that point) and once discovered was moved to the inside of a cubicle where he stayed for a good month.
He was always someone who could excel in multiple positions.
Jack Grimes was a good sort too though. I have a fantastic photo of me, Bernie and Jack at an open day. I’d post it but I’d dox myself. Plus I was dressed weirdly.I love this.
My Bernie postcard came from a mate of mine who worked at the Dees. He asked who my favourite players were and I said Bernie Vince and Jack Watts. So he surprised me with postcards of Bernie Vince and... Jack Grimes.
I played it cool at the time but inside I was fuming.
My endearing memory of a very young Jack Grimes being interviewed on "Dee TV" after getting pumped by close to 150 points, backing up another 100+ belting from opening round.Jack Grimes was a good sort too though.

I remember round 23 in 2017 or so? Maybe 2016. We played GWS at Marvel. Harmes took some real screamers. Howe took yet another mark of the year, then kicked it efficiently to opposition directly afterwards. His last game for us. Also in his last game was Daniel Cross who had a horrible concussion, knocked out cold, and from where I was sitting I thought he was dead for a few minutes.
The best bit was Jack Grimes who kicked a goal from 50 on the boundary. Being a defender, he was so excited! He looked like a little kid expecting socks for Christmas, then he unwrapped a PlayStation.
Funny thinking of your two favourites. I reckon then, and even now, of all of our players then or since I would choose them in their best form to kick for my own life from 50 on a tricky angle.
Looking back I feel so sorry for our Jacks Trengrove and Grimes.My endearing memory of a very young Jack Grimes being interviewed on "Dee TV" after getting pumped by close to 150 points, backing up another 100+ belting from opening round.
Good times!
