Collier has been named in the West Coast Eagles' team to take on Collingwood at Victoria Park.
The match against the Magpies will mark the Eagles' debut in the AFLW.
Collier's leadership, direction and experience will be vital when the Eagles mark up for this match.
She headed west over the off-season after a few seasons with the Greater Western Sydney Giants.
The South Coast Register spoke to Collier recently and she looks set to have a great season.
The Western Australians have named a squad stacked with potential debutantes for its historic maiden AFLW outing.
Ten fresh faces are in line to play their first game at the highest level.
Two possible debutantes are Irish sister act Niamh and Grace Kelly, who only started playing Australian Rules after arriving at the Eagles from County Mayo's Gaelic football.
The team will be ably led by captain Emma Swanson and vice-captain Dana Hooker .
As a member of the leadership group, Collier needs to take charge both on and off the field.
Collier will take on the key half-forward role.
Bouncedown at Victoria Park is 1.10pm AEDT (10.10am WST) and the match will be broadcast live on Channel 7, 7HD and Fox Footy.
