Shiva Blast

The 14th season of Shiva has come to an end and in the spirit of the season, ended with just as much drama as it began. Out of the box scoring led to some big totals and some incredibly unlucky losers. This week we wrap up the year, celebrate our champions and let you vent out your feelings. It’s the final 2026 SHIVA BLAST! Thanks for a great year Coaches. Keep your eye out for all correspondence over the next couple of weeks.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thedtshiva Twitter: @dtshiva_ Instagram: @thedtshiva Join the Shiva discord here: https://discord.gg/4h9EPdaYbu Leave us a message on the Shiva Blast Open Line here: https://www.speakpipe.com/DTShiva

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Two can be as bad as one, It's the loneliest number since the number one. Two rounds left might bring you solace as you charge toward finals, or maybe it’s the hanging sword above your head as everything falls apart. Three hosts and multiple guests are here to make things a little less lonely - this is the SHIVA BLAST!

Apologies in advance. The Commissioner's recollection of his unlikely win is possibly the least offensive part of this week's Shiva Blast. Seags is back, Benny is here, Bacon brings the Stats and there's plenty of contributions via the Open Line. Tea Cups, Water Bottles, White Russians, Grammar Police and more.  Get your song contest entries in for next week!  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thedtshiva Twitter: @dtshiva_ Instagram: @thedtshiva Join the Shiva discord here: https://discord.gg/4h9EPdaYbu Leave us a message on the Shiva Blast Open Line here: https://www.speakpipe.com/DTShiva

The cracks are showing! One more injury, on top of all the others. One low score from your backed in player. Hugh McCluggage. Any one of these things could be the straw that broke the camels back.  But lets look at the positives. This is the best of the bye rounds for teams missing. We’re one round closer to the end of the year. And the podcast is back! Turn that frown upside down, its the SHIVA BLAST!

10 rounds down and the byes are looming. Do you yearn for the respite of reduced numbers week by week or fear losing more players on top of your already broken squad? There’s hurdles looming but for now we prepare ourselves for one more full blooded battle in Round 11. This is the 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!
