A powerful centre half-back, he was awarded the Brownlow Medal in 1929 while playing with the Collingwood Football Club. At the height of the Great Depression he left Collingwood to coach Cananore Football Club in Tasmania, winning the Leitch Medal in 1931.

In 1996 Collier was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
