Yes he is! I read it on Wikipedia and was like whaaaat?? So I got in contact with Ali Carle on Triple M because they talk to him every Friday during the season and she asked him for me and he said he is!

 

[SAAndy]

hahahah So he can't tell the difference between Richmona,Hawthorn and Collingwood? haha

It depends on what sort of colorblind he is. Do some research on it. Most of colorblindness is just a few specific colors. I can't remember off the top of my head but green is coming to mind.

He did explain it and said he's taught himself what colour is what so he doesn't get mixed up, but he said sometimes he looks up and can't tell the difference so he has to look at the players faces.

I've got a mate who's colourblind, says he sees red as an asphalt-like colour.

It's hard to picture iconic red like Liverpool, Man United or the State guernsey in these terms.

Your idea of red might be different to everyone elses, how would you know?

I tired to get my colour blind friend to explain it to me and he struggled just saying he cant tell the difference between certain colours rather than seeing one colour as something else.

 

[spexau]

Yeah from what I've been told it's just that the person can't identify colours and gets them confused with other colours. They don't necessarily see colors differently.

Would make trips to the Casino difficult...

Bet on black! I cant lose!

I've read this a few times and still can't see where you're coming from.

I was just saying that trying to picture it from my mate's perspective, seeing the Manchester United/Liverpool/SA state side in a dull asphalt-grey rather than what is to us their usual iconic red, is somewhat of a trip.

Of course it'd be normal to him, but for us - non-colourblind people - it wouldn't be. While the tone might be different ever so slightly from person to person, red is red.

I was just saying how strange colour is. If you see red as i see green we would never know it. You cant describe what a colour looks like. It wasnt really relevent to anything, i just threw it in there .

I can't see red on black and that makes me colour blind. On its own, I can see it fine. That's it. There are some pretty minor afflictions that are considered colour blind.

Ah the Gospel according to Wesley - which no doubt has "in which case you'll spin up 0" in the fine print.

 

[toddflanders]

its just like watching black and white tv....

I went colourblind on NYE. I drank a shitload of alcohol and everything went black for several hours

i was thinking the exact same thing when i opened up this thread

 

[SAAndy]

Oh Okay so he sees some colours different

My brother has colour blindness but I don't have it, neither does my parents. We tried to see if our grandparents had it but they don't have it either. It's a recessive trait I think (or is it dominant?) which meens that it can skip generations or something like that. Mr brother has red/green colour blindness- he can tell the difference between traffic lights fine, but it's when the colours are all mixed up he has trouble. Eg. like the picture below:

Non-colour blind people can see an 8, but my brother can't see it.

Nah, but red on a blackboard is nearly impossible. You can kind of see an outline or sense that there is something there, sometimes you can make it out, but its quite hard to distinguish.

If you stare hard enough at it you can see Porplyzia's chiselled abdomen in the centre!

Only colour blind people can see the 8

 

[Alex99]

Well i see the 8, so i must be colour blind. Damm.
