Safe to say we didn't cove ourselves in glory last week. But the Commish, Seags and Benny are back. So is the Bonglord. So is Bacon. So are the brave Open Line contributors. 

It's shorter (slightly)

It's better (probably)

It's the SHIVA BLAST!

There's a lot to cover in this episode of the Shiva Blast. A caption wouldn't suffice. So here's a challenge for you, comment below - what was the moment that you felt that the Commish and Seags lost patience with the episode. Time stamp away Shivarites! 

We gathered, we saw and results were mixed after only the second full round of football for the season. It’s a little more painful when you can’t drop the biggest spud score from your tally at the end of the week! Each league is starting to get a good idea of the front runners now, as well as those who have a lot of climbing to do - and there’s a few that fall into the second group on this week’s SHIVA BLAST!

*Warning - this episode pushes the boundaries more than most*

Things that are shit: Carlton, Essendon, Port Adelaide, bye rounds, early season bye rounds, early season bye rounds when a shit ton of players are out, when Seags says he’s not free for the recording.

Only 2 weeks into the season and the walls are already closing in on some coaches as a mixture of reduced numbers thanks to byes and injuries to quality players are hurting the bottom line. And if you can’t turn to fantasy football for relief in tough times - where can you turn?! Not easily accessible online pornography. Not a quiet Saturday drive. Perhaps just the SHIVA BLAST!

Apologies for the delay Coaches! We are underway and we’re already learning that Shiva will be a tricky beast to tame this year. One first-round draft pick gone for 4 months. Plenty of others underperforming in a quickly changing fantasy landscape. With reduced numbers this week for a stupid Round 2 set of byes, let’s find out what awaits our coaches on this week’s SHIVA BLAST!

The draft is done, for most of us. As we hit record on this episode, 6 Champions Leagues are back at the draft table - ready to use their experience to move up the 2027 ladder. For the rest of us, we’re left to celebrate or lament everything that went down on Sunday. We’ll sift through the debris and look towards the start of the season on the last pre-season SHIVA BLAST!

Coming fresh off a 45-minute long Facebook live draft draw, the final piece has been put in place for the 2026 Shiva season and now we lock in on this Sunday’s draft. Spreadsheets, tier lists and devices at the ready, this is the SHIVA BLAST!

Registrations for new players still open at dtshiva.com.au

The smell of football is in the air and it is almost time for unabashed use of Keeper Fantasy on the company dime to begin. The Shiva Draft is just over 2 weeks away and there’s plenty to sort out in the interim - best we sink out teeth into another episode of the SHIVA BLAST!
