Hawthorn big man Lloyd Meek escapes ban for late hit that concussed Pat Lipinski
Hawthorn ruckman Lloyd Meek has avoided AFL sanction for his 'genuine attempt to spoil' in an incident that left Collingwood's Patrick Lipinski concussed. But teammate Mabior Chol wasn't as lucky, becoming the latest player fined for flipping the bird at opposition supporters. Chol was caught on video raising his middle finger to fans during the Hawks' 51-point thrashing from the Magpies at the MCG on Friday night, the footage later posted to social media. He can accept a $1000 fine with an early guilty plea. Fellow Hawk Nick Watson, West Coast young gun Harley Reid and Geelong superstar Bailey Smith (twice) have also been fined for making obscene gestures this season. AFL match review officer Michael Christian ruled Meek had no case to answer after he crashed into Lipinski from behind. Collingwood players immediately flew the flag for Lipinski, with Meek's former Fremantle teammate Lachie Schultz first on the scene. It sparked a mini melee before Lipinski was paid a 50m penalty and kicked an easy goal from the goal-square. The winger left the field for assessment straight after his kick and later failed a concussion test. Meek appeared to make only glancing high contact with Lipinski in his spoiling attempt, with the Magpie then landing heavily on his head. 'With his eyes on the ball, Meek attempts to spoil with a straight arm that does not deviate from the line of the ball, and in doing so makes primarily body contact with Lipinski in the marking contest,' the AFL explained in a statement. 'It was the view of the MRO that Meek made a genuine attempt to spoil the ball, that his actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances and that he took reasonable care to avoid making forceful high contact to Lipinski in the marking contest. 'Furthermore, it could not have been reasonably foreseen that Lipinski's head would make forceful contact with the ground as a result of Meek's conduct. 'No further action was taken.' Lipinksi has been ruled out of Collingwood's clash with Melbourne under concussion protocols, and won't return until after their mid-season bye.

Kankhajura review: Mohit-Roshan's thriller grips early but falters in climax
Sony Liv's 'Kankhajura' is the kind of thriller that doesn't just rely on plot twists—it thrives on emotional tension, character complexity, and the slow, creeping unease that comes from watching someone manipulate the people around them with surgical precision. Led by two excellent performances from Roshan Mathew and Mohit Raina, this Hindi adaptation of the Israeli show 'Magpie' offers an absorbing character study cloaked in the garments of a family drama masquerading as a suspense thriller. For a while, it works but then, somewhere along the way, it falters under the weight of its own Chandan Arora directorial follows Ashu (Roshan Mathew), a man recently released from prison, returning home after over a decade to reconnect with his elder brother Max (Mohit Raina). Max has rebuilt his life, seemingly moved on—but Ashu's reappearance unsettles the carefully maintained surface. What starts as a slow reintroduction to family life gradually spirals into a layered psychological game, as Ashu begins to manipulate not just Max, but everyone around them. Or is Max using Ashu to manipulate again?Roshan Mathew is the soul of the show. His portrayal of Ashu is subtle, deeply internal, and unnervingly precise. He plays the character like a chess master—every move calculated, every word intentional. He balances the duality of Ashu beautifully of a man seeking belonging, yet harbouring a quiet, relentless need for control. He also brings to life the struggle of a man with stammer, haunted by years of bullying. It's absolutely one of his most mature performances yet. advertisementOn the other hand, Mohit Raina plays Max with a controlled calm that works well opposite Mathew's layered intensity. His character isn't given quite as much range, but Raina makes the most of it, grounding the narrative with emotional steadiness. As a brother torn between guilt and self-preservation, he conveys a growing sense of unease that gives the story a moral centre—even as the plot grows 'Kankhajura' is rich. It explores emotional manipulation, buried resentment, and the long tail of childhood trauma. The Goa setting is used wisely—not as a postcard backdrop, but as a character itself. The women - Sara Jane Dias and Trinetra Haldar -, though have not much to do, add a fresh layer to the narrative with their performances. Heeba Shah also makes a comeback after a break and stands out as the uptight yet soft police officer. Mahesh Shetty and Usha Nadkarni also make an impressive mark with their Yet despite its many strengths, Kankhajura struggles to stick the landing. As the narrative moves into its final stretch, the careful plotting begins to unravel. The twists feel more like obligations than revelations, and the emotional payoff doesn't match the slow, intricate buildup. It's not that the ending is bad - it's that it feels oddly rushed, choosing obvious over impact. You sense the show wants to say something profound, but it ends up saying too much and too little at final word - watch it for Roshan Mathew!3 out of 5 stars to Kankhajura.
