Collard was picked by St Kilda with pick 28 of the 2023 National Draft.[1] He was part of West Coast Eagles' Next Generation Academy so was tied to the Eagles who could have matched any draft bid if he had lasted past pick 40.[2] He made his debut against Geelong in round 1 of the 2024 season, coming on as the substitute.[3]
