I thought by swashbuckling opener, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew meant he’s the first player on this list and not necessarily an opener in real life. 
Like @Salems Lot(above), I can’t veer away from it being a Marsh because of “swamp.”

All I can offer is Doug Bollinger. Bog for swamp, and the slimmest chance of there being in existence a Spanish boat called a Dullinger (stop laughing!)

Methinks this guy’s gonna end up carrying his bat. Unless of course Tim is kind enough to give us a clue (?)

Sorry, no, Salem, though that dynasty is tempting.

You've all played very nicely, thank you; WCW most entertainingly, with creative flourishes of her bat.

He's a genuine opener, as the rest of the team is genuinely used (with a bit of shuffling in the middle order).

Think what could swamp a boat? Then say it with a separate-syllable '-ed' on the end.

    David Warner???!!

    As in, wave-ed? And a Spanish boat called a Dorner or similar?

    Damn! Seems Mazer beat me to it.

    I'm late to the party but no 1 is Warner. No-one got it coz the VIN number was sanded off the boat.

    I was over the page and missed this, Mazer! Humble apologies. And double points for the humorous hoick!

    Wave-ed dorna it is!

    And another 0.1 for you, @WalkingCivilWar, just later to the party.

    Thanks again everyone!

    That’s one of those runs you score when you or your batting partner get out but don’t realise you crossed on the wicket!

    Ok, so I’ve got a quick one in case one of Tim’s eleven contracts Covid. 
    The clue is: Catty Car

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
