IT WASN'T pretty viewing, but reliving Port Adelaide's horror Showdown performance will be the kick in the backside the Power needs, according to star Robbie Gray.
The three-time club champion was one of the few who could hold his head up after last weekend's embarrassing 84-point loss to ladder leaders Adelaide.
The Power returns to the scene of the crime, Adelaide Oval, on Sunday for a clash with Collingwood that they must win to get their finals campaign back on track.

The players returned to training on Tuesday morning, but before that, they were forced to go over their dreadful effort against the Crows.
"It was obviously a very disappointing performance," Gray said on Tuesday.
"We had the review this morning, it was a pretty honest review and it needed to be.
"Not a lot went right for us, so there was quite a bit we went over and then we went out and trained, and we look forward to Collingwood now and try and turn our form around."
In the fifth-placed Power's favour is their ability to rebound after a loss.
They haven't dropped back-to-back games since rounds three and four this year against the Crows and Greater Western Sydney.
The Power also have a 10-2 win-loss record against sides outside the top eight, so will be favoured to beat the 12th-placed Magpies.
"I've got a lot of faith in our group," Gray said.
"No doubt, the weekend was a very disappointing performance.
"I've got a lot of faith in my teammates and they're all hurting and we'll bounce back."
Gray, 29, played a lone hand against the Crows, racking up 33 possessions, including 20 contested and kicked a goal.
One positive for the Power is they are likely to get star midfielder/forward Chad Wingard back for the clash with the Magpies.
Wingard trained with the team on Tuesday in an attempt to prove he has recovered from an ankle injury that has forced him to miss the past two games.
"Chad's coming along well, so I think he'll be pushing to play this week," Gray said.
"He'll be a massive inclusion if he can get up."
Port to power back from Showdown shocker
Belting by Crows will get a big response from Port, says Gray
