Didak was the number three pick in the 2000 draft, selected by Collingwood from fellow Magpies Port Adelaide.
Didak has been suspended until the end of Collingwood's 2008 campaign, and while several Melbourne clubs have indicated some interest in trading for him, the 'go-home' factor has again raised its head.
Didak and Collingwood have always rejected any such advances, but Crows chief executive Steven Trigg thinks the timing might now be falling into place.
"We've always had a very high regard for his ability. He's a player of real talent," Trigg told the Herald Sun.
"We wouldn't be different to any other club in that we would be interested if he was to become available and wanted to come home."
Essendon and Carlton were two Melbourne clubs that also expressed interest in Didak, albeit cautiously.
Essendon coach Matthew Knights said no player would be discounted when it came to a possible trade.
"I've got a responsibility to our members and supporters for the good of the Essendon Football Club and what we think could strengthen our list," Knights said.
Carlton coach Brett Ratten counselled patience but would not rule Didak out of consideration.
"Alan Didak, that's an interesting one. We haven't looked at that yet, so we will just wait and see at the end of the year," Ratten said.
