I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bogs' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'lads went crazy' is the wordplay.
'crazy' indicates an anagram.
'lads'+'went'='ladswent'
'ladswent' is an anagram of 'WETLANDS'.

'in' is the link.
