Only midfielder Daniel Kerr and half-back Sam Butler have been ruled out of the pre-season clash, leaving a confident West Coast with close to a full squad to pick from.
Hurn said hosting the NAB Cup grand final was a big incentive to win on Saturday night and he welcomed the prospect of a strong Collingwood outfit.
"That'd be great, we'd really like that … we would assume they'd bring across a pretty good side," Hurn said from Patersons Stadium on Wednesday.
"Last year from the grand final they don't look like they've changed anything and they've been playing some pretty good footy. We're looking forward to the challenge.
"We've probably got one of the healthiest lists that we've had for a long time, so all of our key senior players are probably available.
"We would probably still field a very strong side, because winning form's good form."
The Eagles beat a young Gold Coast outfit by 37 points at Patersons Stadium last Sunday and if they can overcome Collingwood on Saturday night they will have the opportunity to complete an entire pre-season at home.
"We'd be able to get a bit more work into us on the track, so that'd be great if it turned out that way," Hurn said of the prospect of hosting the NAB Cup Grand Final.
"It is certainly something that we want to win.
"It is all about the season. At the same time, from where we've been, we certainly think [winning] would be a good step forward for us."
Hurn said West Coast had put a much bigger emphasis on match simulation this pre-season and the players' skills - a major sore point in 2010's last-place finish - had improved as a result.
"We've done probably twice as much training as we did last year - pure training on the track - so we think that's held us in good stead," the 23-year-old said.
"A lot of the kids have got a lot more training into them and have done a lot more match simulation, so we think it should be good for us.
"I think there is [a lift in skills]. We're happy with the way it's going."
Hurn said senior players Dean Cox, Andrew Embley and Quinten Lynch had enjoyed productive summers, and the availability of a full playing list could make it harder for young players to get games.
The defender said he had worked on getting free of defensive forwards this pre-season and was feeling fresh ahead of his sixth AFL campaign.
"The body's feeling pretty good, I haven't had any niggles over the pre-season [and] I've basically done all of the work, so now it's about getting ready for the games," he said.
