Weirdest looks from AFL stars in new guernseys

It is always weird to see veterans wearing another teams colours. Many fans just know that it doesn't look right while there are players who made moves later in their careers who are now forgotten. Here are some of the strangest fits between AFL teams and ageing players. Daniel Bradshaw Who could forget Bradshaw. He played in two premierships with the Brisbane Lions and was their leading goal kicker for three years straight. The key forward decided to go to Sydney for his last years as an AFL player and it took some time for spectators to get used to.

He played 305 games for the Hawks and won two Norm Smith medals but at the end of the 2017 season, Hodge decided to go up to Brisbane in order to help grow the game there. Hawks fans might not be happy but he will always be remembered as a Hawks player.

Drafted to St Kilda in 1995, Hall played 88 games before moving to Sydney. This is where he won most of his prestigious accolades and is remembered. But his last two seasons, Hall spent it down at the Kennel where he played 39 games and kicked 135 goals.

He played in a couple of Grand Finals but unfortunately never won one. When Gold Coast became apart of the AFL, Fraser moved clubs as he finished his career off playing only 18 games with the Suns.

He was their leading goal kicker for seven straight seasons and won the Coleman Medal twice. Due to off-field antics, Carlton wanted him gone and Brisbane gave Fev a lifeline. He played 17 games and kicked 48 goals, but Fevola will always be a known as a Blues player.

Unfortunately for St Kilda fans, Ball ended up beating his former side in the 2010 grand final which felt weird for him and many of his close friends like Lenny Hayes at the saints.

He played just over 250 games for the Cats but in 2013, he got traded to the Bombers for pick 84. He had the chance to remain a one club player but decided that he had more to give to another football club.

It didn't look right as he has always worn the purple but he decided to become a top up player for the year.
