Corked Liverpool kiss?

I'm sure the AFL would vigourously deny it, but many will see equivalence between the three-week suspensions of Daniel Kerr and Josh Carr. What will stick in many a craw will be the notion that Kerr's headbut of Scott West was therefore equivalent to Carr's attempt to cork Gary Ablett Jnr's thigh. By its restructuring of its judicial arrangements to be process-driven rather than incident-driven, the AFL has unwittingly created the scenario where equivalence may be assumed.
