Sometimes with these early round mini-byes, it can feel like you’re playing with one arm tied behind your back, but while injuries and suspensions are starting to build there’s one glorious silver lining. 7 consecutive full rounds coming up. It’s a sight to behold. Gather round, it’s the SHIVA BLAST!

It's a big week in Shiva. Keeper will drop their first (and arguably most season defining) positional additions and we break down the Shiva specific settings and implications. Plus, if you listened to last week's podcast you know that something mysterious went down - BennyMaccas's back and questions are asked! Don't miss this week's Shiva Blast!

Two rounds in and patience has become an important commodity - even the podcast has dropped slightly later than usual. Though to be fair, that's more due to the heavy edit required as Coach Seags guest co-hosts! Bacon is in with plenty of stats and the Shiva Open Line welcomes first-time coaches to the SHIVA BLAST!

For some Coaches there's a fine line between pleasure and pain. For others, there's an enormous gulf. Only 1 round in and there's plenty of questions to be answered after a historically bad start for the Commissioner. BennyMacca returns and we look at the implications of the first mini-bye round of the year on this week's SHIVA BLAST!

The 2025 Shiva Draft is done and now with our squads locked in, our attention turns to the real thing - it’s game on from Thursday as the latest quest for Shiva glory begins.

No Benny, No Seags, No Bacon, just the commissioner and his stream of consciousness on this week's SHIVA BLAST!

RSVP to the draft parties in VIC, WA, SA and GC if you can make it along and get ready for the biggest year of DT Shiva yet. This is the SHIVA BLAST!

Coaches, welcome to 2025. A huge year for Shiva with some substantial changes. With registration opening on Monday January 13, Seags joins the Commissioner to discuss the new platform, new rules and what hasn't changed since last year. 

In a special off-season collaboration, The Keeper League podcast (https://keeperleaguepod.com.au/) hosted by Heff joins forces with the Shiva Blast to interview Ryan Power. Ryan created the Ultimate Footy platform and is now behind a new platform named Keeper (https://keeperfantasy.com/)

Find out about his journey to this point, what inspired the new creation and get excited as he reveals some of the functionality that will be available to you in Season 2025!

You’d expect Grand Final weekend to throw up surprises, but a pre-lockout platform meltdown was the truly unexpected twist to invigorate things. But days later, what remains are 68 champions across 69 leagues (one Coach did it twice) to add to the honour roll. It’s time to hit record one last time and have a proper meltdown on the SHIVA BLAST!
