MORE: Kate Ceberano fluffs National Anthem at AFL Grand Final
The AFL’s pre-game entertainment has been the subject of great criticism in recent times, and it looks as though they will face similar criticism for this year's offering.
British superstar Ellie Goulding took the stage before the AFL Grand Final at the MCG, however technical difficulties meant that her pre-recorded performance begun playing before Goulding could get started.
Naturally, Twitter went into meltdown.

Maybe turn Ellie Goulding's mic up so we can hear her over the pre-recorded song playing in the background #AFLGrandFinal #AFLFinals

I rate Goulding's performance on the Meatloaf scale a 9.7 #AFLGF
