In less than 24 hours, 11 Casey-South Melbourne players will step onto the Albert Ground for the most important cricket match of their lives.

The Swans will take on the might of the Carlton Cricket Club, a seasoned Blues outfit that has been to the promise land before, winning the Vic Premier Cricket premiership only three seasons ago.

Casey-South Melbourne are breaking history as Casey by just being there tomorrow, but the Swans side will be out to break a 54-year drought since the last piece of silverware was added to the cabinet.

Here are the selected (extended) teams for the grand final…
