BF Awards 2013 UPOTY - THE COUNTDOWN TO NUMBER 1 - ... and the winner is?

[RandB]

On behalf of the mods, thank you to everyone who found the time to share their footy wits with an unofficial preview this year.

Our season stank but the standard of UPs was out of this world - Rooslike if you will.

I have linked all the UPs in the OP for quick access and posterity.

Biffinator will be selecting his favourite UP for 2013, the winner of which will receive a quill writing badge.

Winner to be announced after POTY.

Thanks once again to all and to Logger for his promotional services.

Looking forward to the 2014 UPs already.

Purple Haze > everything.

Purple Haze > everything.

Feel like it will be between Striker475 for the Purple Haze and autocol for his PJ the vampire-hunter Richmond one. Both superb pieces of literature.

Your UP vs Hawthorn would be my pick.

was that the angry clarkson one? I liked that one a lot

In my role as promoter/organiser of the UP's it is incumbent upon me to ask how soon after the POTY it will be revealed? I believe autocol and Striker475 are still stuck in that empty auditorium, nervously awaiting the announcement.

Patience, the mods are conferring... or else on the longest coffee break in history. RandB Crimson Azure

 

[Tulip]

I'm behind Logger for his Clarko rant, but the other two were grand.

So lonely

 

[autocol]

So lonely

Wanna hold hands?

 

[LeverPuller]

Wanna hold hands?

Even better, I brought something for the wait...

Striker475 and his partner Heidi get to know each other a little better while awaiting the announcement of the Unofficial Preview of the Year award.

autocol held up the bar as long as he could, but it eventually corroded away into nothingness while he waited to hear from the Melbourne Mods whether he had won or not.

Brilliant idea by all to wait until 2013 was completed before an announcement was made, just in case a late contender was posted some time in December. I eagerly await the winner being unveiled now that there is no fathomable reason to delay any longer!

 

[RandB]

Such is the prestige of this event we decided that, ala the Academy Awards, the winner will be announced in the new year.*

A short-list of 5 Unofficial Previews has been compiled from 2013 as the standouts (yeah its subjective) but it was a hard task. Everyone who contributed did a great job in what was an abortion of a season.

The mods will each vote 5,4,3,2,1 and the result posted promptly.

In the mean time feel free to stew and speculate over who could be the one...

The short-list of 5 is:

Round 4 GWS - autocol

Round 8 Richmond - autocol

Round 10 Hawthorn - Logger

Round 18 North - YouDontKnowJack

Round 21 Fremantle - Striker475

*May not be true.

Cheers Logger, but I think yours should win.

 

[LeverPuller]

Feels like that was forever ago!

 

[RandB]

The votes have been tallied.

In 5th place with a vote tally of 3 is...

Round 4 GWS - autocol

A memorable piece for its simplicity which summed up Sheedy in a nutshell and gave Judas his final marching orders.

42 of the 45 votes remain.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Drum roll.............

Too late.

 

[RandB]

It was surreal, it was a sentimental favourite for some, it was alcohol fuelled and one of the most unique UPs ever...

In 4th place with a vote tally of 7 is...

Round 21 Fremantle - Striker475

Excellent work Striker475, we all look forward to what you can bring us in 2014.

35 of the 45 votes remain.

Surely it lost points for making us all imagine kissing Hayden Ballantyne, but that was a mark of its genius.

There may or may not be a sequel in the works...

Will Sylvia make an appearance?
