Adelaide will vigorously pursue adequate compensation for departing star Patrick Dangerfield, saying they know what they want from AFL rivals Geelong for the brilliant midfielder.

But Crows chief executive Andrew Fagan is refusing to detail what means his club will use to get fair compensation for Dangerfield.

“We will be doing that with vigour … we have got a pretty firm view as to what we are after,” Fagan told reporters on Thursday.
