Former Carlton Premiership winner Mark Maclure has criticised the AFL's Match Review Panel for not handling the Jack Viney bump case and instead referring it to the tribunal.

FOX Footy expert Gerard Healy believes Lance Franklin can upset his old club when the Sydney Swans meet Hawthorn in Friday night's blockbuster at ANZ Stadium.
Healy, answering questions from fans on Thursday, said he believed the Swans' midfield was hitting form, and the home side was a strong chance to continue its winning way if it could contain the Hawks' run from defence.
ROBBO: VINEY DECISION HARD TO SWALLOW
"It's hard to go against the Hawks but you've got to go on gut feel sometimes, and I'm going for the Swans," Healy said.
"They've got to shut down the Hawks' half backs and I think their midfield is going to dominate."
CLARKO DOUBTS SWANS' FORWARD CHEMISTRY
Healy expects Kurt Tippett to be used close to goal — but believes the Swans would be best served if the former Crow could become the Swans' no.1 ruckman — while the likes of Franklin and Adam Goodes will roam from the midfield inside 50.
FRANKLIN FIT TO FACE OLD BUDDIES
Six clubs will enjoy a bye this weekend, something Healy has mixed views on.
The 1988 Brownlow medallist said he thought byes interrupted the season but could understand players enjoying a break.
"As a player I probably would have enjoyed a weekend off but I don't know if you need two — that's probably taking it to the extreme," he said.
"I know the players run long and hard but midfielders in the 1980s were running 20-plus kilometres back then.
SUPERCOACH: HOW TO BEAT THE BYE
"I think the bye is valuable for the mental relief as much as anything.
"But I didn't like having weeks off from a physical perspective because I thought the body got out of sync to some degree."
