Shiva Blast

As we enter the mid-season stretch of Shiva, our worst enemy isn’t our league mates or the coach filling our inbox with shit trade offers, it’s complacency. Forgetting to set the lineup, not scanning the waivers or leaving the big scoring loop option rotting on the bench. In the immortal words of Shannon Noll that I like to imagine is about Shiva and not his flaccid penis: I know how hard it can get, you’ve gotta lift. This is the SHIVA BLAST!

BennyMacca has fled overseas and subsequently away from the podcast for a month. In past what could be a cause for celebration is now precarious if the last time the Blast was without him is any guide. In a week where some of the season’s best scorers stumbled, is there a new Shiva order? Let’s find out on the latest SHIVA BLAST!

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!
