List of AFL debuts in 2008

Add article description

The 2008 season was the 112th completed season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest-level Australian rules football competition in Australia. There were 84 players who first participated in an AFL premiership match during the 2008 season.[2][3] The regular season commenced on 20 March and concluded with the AFL Grand Final on 27 September, where the premiership was won by Hawthorn.[4] This year celebrated the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Australian football as a sport in 1858.[5]

Cyril Rioli played every game for Hawthorn in his first season, including the AFL Grand Final.[1]

The premiership season is inclusive of home-and-away and finals series matches only, and does not include pre-season matches or representative games (such as State of Origin or International rules football).[6] Of those making their AFL debut, there were 17 rookie-listed players who were elevated to their clubs' senior list during the season.[7] Rookie players receive a reduced salary in comparison to senior-listed players, and are not necessarily automatically eligible for selection in games, unless they are elevated.[8]

In addition to those players making their debuts, there were 25 players who played their first game with a new AFL club after previously having played with another club in the league.[2][9] Notably, former West Coast captain Chris Judd played his first game for Carlton in the first round of the season, after being traded in the preceding off-season.[10][11] Cyril Rioli played every game for Hawthorn in the 2008 season, playing a total of 25 games (including the Grand Final)—the most of any debut player that year.[1] Jack Anthony scored the most goals out of first-year players in 2008, attaining 25 goals in his 12 matches.[12]
