Collins is one of the AFL’s greatest second-chance stories. Since joining the club, Collins has been a revelation as a key defender, going on to become a two-time Gold Coast SUNS Club Champion (2020, 2024) and has consistently finished in the top 5 over the last six years. Collins was promoted to the vice-captaincy in 2021 and continues to lead the playing group. The key defender earned his second consecutive All-Australian squad selection while ranking No.4 in the AFL for intercepts and No.10 for one-percenters.
