We're all going to have different opinions about this.
For me I guess the test was, watching this game, do I feel like I'm watching a Carlton team.
The answer was 'Yes' and that grew stronger the further the game went.
The result became more important.
It's a feeling I don't necessarily get on the rare occasions i get to see the Northern Blues, where the result for me is more about the performance of Carlton listed players.
But as I said, others (especially those who are regular attenders of NB games) will have a different point of view.
The skill level at theĀ moment doesn't worry me...that's the base line it will only get better from here.
