Cyril Rioli made his AFL debut for Hawthorn during the 2008 AFL season and finished runner-up in the year's Rising Star award.

The Australian Football League (AFL) is the highest level of professional Australian rules football competition in Australia. Founded in 1897 as the Victorian Football League (VFL), it originally consisted of eight teams based in the Australian state of Victoria before becoming established as a national competition and changing its name to the Australian Football League in 1990. The 2008 AFL regular season commenced on 20 March and concluded with the AFL Grand Final on 27 September where the premiership was won by Hawthorn.[1] The season celebrated the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Australian football as a sport in 1858.[2]

A total of 84 players made their debut in a senior AFL match during the 2008 AFL season.[3] A senior AFL match is an Australian rules football match between two clubs that are members of the AFL. It is played under the laws of Australian football and includes both regular season and finals series matches. It does not include pre-season competition matches, interstate matches or international rules football matches.

In addition to those players making their AFL debuts, 25 players made their debuts with a club following a change of clubs where they had previously played a senior AFL match.[4] Of those making their AFL debut, 17 were players who were elevated from their clubs' rookie list to the senior list, and therefore were eligible to represent the club in a senior AFL match.[5]
