INCOMING Geelong superstar Patrick Dangerfield has spoken of the courtship process used to bring him to the club from Adelaide.

Or, to be more accurate, the complete lack of one.

In an interview with Fairfax Media, Dangerfield revealed that not once did he meet with Cats coach Chris Scott or any of the players before deciding to join the club.

He said his focus during the season was exclusively on the Crows, but also, "I didn't need anyone to sell Geelong to me. I know how they well regarded they are. It's not like I needed Chris to call me up and say 'we'd love to have you.'

"I feel incredibly lucky to be given the opportunity to represent the jumper and a club that has such a rich history because they have been so successful ... externally I knew what I was getting in for."

Dangerfield also confirmed that all along, it was a two-horse race between Adelaide and Geelong. There was never a chance he would ditch the Crows for a Melbourne-based club.

"It didn't appeal to me at all because if I was going to come back, it was going to be to Geelong, where my family are, where the place that I love is and a really successful club.

"I couldn't have fronted to them (Adelaide teammates) and said 'oh, I'm leaving but it's not necessarily to go home, it's just to go to another club based in Melbourne.' It wouldn't be the morally right thing to do."

Dangerfield also spoke reverently of the lessons – football and life – he learned from Phil Walsh last year in the half a season Walsh was in charge of the Crows before his death, but said he felt no obligation to remain with the club because of his passing.
