Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Australian rules football season The 2008 AFL season was the 112th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest level senior Australian rules football competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989. The season featured sixteen clubs, ran from 20 March until 27 September, and comprised a 22-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs. A significant feature of the season was the celebration of the 150th anniversary since the sport of Australian rules football was first established in 1858.

The premiership was won by the Hawthorn Football Club for the tenth time, after they defeated Шаблон:AFL Gee by 26 points in the 2008 AFL Grand Final.

Notable events

• This was the first season in which Carlton and Richmond faced off in what is now the traditional first clash of the season.

• This was the first season since 1998 in which NMFC competed as "North Melbourne" instead of "Kangaroos", following the end of their decade-long experiment with home-away-from-home venues in Sydney, Canberra and the Gold Coast.
• The Шаблон:AFL WB came back from a 37-point deficit against Шаблон:AFL StK at quarter time to win the game by 38 points, a 75-point turnaround, in round 3.
• The Шаблон:AFL BL produced its biggest ever comeback in round 4 against Шаблон:AFL Por when they were down by 47 points late in the third quarter to win by 20 points, a 67-point turnaround.
• Шаблон:AFL Syd forward Barry Hall was suspended for seven weeks, then the equal-longest suspension handed out since the tribunal was reconfigured to a points-based system in 2005, for striking Шаблон:AFL WC defender Brent Staker with a clean punch to the head. Later in the season, Шаблон:AFL Fre's Dean Solomon beat that record, being suspended for eight weeks after hitting Шаблон:AFL Gee's Cameron Ling in the cheekbone with an elbow.
• Шаблон:AFL Mel won its first game for the season in round 7 against Шаблон:AFL Fre by six points, after recovering from a 50-point half-time deficit, the second-largest half-time deficit ever overcome in VFL/AFL history. This was the second in a VFL/AFL-record string of five consecutive games which Fremantle lost after holding a three-quarter time lead.
• Шаблон:AFL WC suffered its worst ever loss at Subiaco Oval, and worst loss anywhere since 1989, in round 13, losing to Шаблон:AFL Gee by 135 points.
• In round 13, Dustin Fletcher (in his 288th game) and his father, Ken (264 games), claimed the record of most VFL/AFL games played by a father-son combination (552 games).
• In round 16, Richmond player Joel Bowden deliberately conceded two behinds directly from the kick-in, to waste time while protecting his team's four-point lead over Essendon. This was a major motivation for the introduction of a rule from 2009 that allows the umpire to give award free kick for a deliberate rushed behind.
• With its final-round victory, Шаблон:AFL Gee matched Шаблон:AFL Ess's 2000 record of 21 wins in a home-and-away season. Ironically, Шаблон:AFL Gee also set the record for the highest average losing margin in a VFL/AFL season, with its only loss coming by 86 points against Шаблон:AFL Col.
• In the round 22 match between Шаблон:AFL Car and Шаблон:AFL Haw, Hawthorn forward Lance Franklin became the first player since Tony Lockett in 1998 to kick 100 goals in the home-and-away Season. Franklin became the 28th player in VFL/AFL history to reach this milestone, and the first indigenous player to do so.
• In the same game, Brendan Fevola scored seven second-half goals to fall one goal short of the same milestone, becoming the first person in VFL/AFL history to finish on 99 goals for a season.
• The final game of the home and away season saw the 8th-placed Шаблон:AFL StK requiring a win of 90+ points over Шаблон:AFL Ess to claim 4th place going into the finals. Шаблон:AFL StK recorded a then-record winning margin over Essendon of 108 points which saw the Saints replace Шаблон:AFL Ade in 4th place for the finals series.
• On Monday 1 September, Leigh Matthews announced his resignation from his senior coaching position at the Шаблон:AFL BL. Michael Voss took up this position despite committing to Шаблон:AFL WC for 2009.
• The second elimination final between Шаблон:AFL Syd and Шаблон:AFL Nor was, at the time, the lowest crowd number for a final outside Victoria with only 19,127 despite being at ANZ Stadium where Sydney had averaged 50,000 for finals.
• The Grand Final between Шаблон:AFL Gee and Шаблон:AFL Haw drew a crowd of 100,012, the first crowd over 100,000 people since the 1986 Grand Final.
• By losing the Grand Final after finishing with a home-and-away record of 21–1, Шаблон:AFL Gee broke the record set in 1935 and 1936 by Шаблон:AFL SM (16–2) for best record by a non-premier, and the record for most wins by a non-premier held jointly by Шаблон:AFL Col (1973) and Шаблон:AFL WC (1991) (both 19 wins).
• Шаблон:AFL Syd played in a controversial draw against Шаблон:AFL Nor at Telstra Dome in round 6; it was later revealed that Sydney had nineteen men on the field for a brief period of play before, during and after the behind that tied the scores was scored. As a direct consequence of this, the league amended the interchange laws in round 9, appointing interchange stewards to police the players and to signal to the field umpires if an infringement has occurred. Any infringement now results in a free kick being awarded.

Umpires

The AFL introduced an additional two boundary umpires in round 21 in order to reduce the error rate and enable the umpires to keep up with the play.

Brett Rosebury was appointed the 2008 All-Australian umpire, the first West Australian umpire to receive that honour. Controversially, however, he was not appointed to umpire the AFL Grand Final, with Scott McLaren, Michael Vozzo and Shaun Ryan selected ahead of Rosebury.

Scott McLaren umpired his 300th game, and Shane McInerney umpired his 250-game, in round 4. Experienced field umpires Martin Ellis and Matthew Head both announced their retirements during the year.

Coach changes

• Surprising some, Leigh Matthews announced his retirement as coach of the Шаблон:AFL BL two days after their final game of the season in what was replaced as a move to make way for potential coaching candidate, Michael Voss.

• Despite being newly signed for two years as assistant coach of Шаблон:AFL WC, as expected, former Brisbane Lions captain Michael Voss was appointed as coach of the Brisbane Lions, one day after Leigh Matthews resigned.
