"I don't give a rat's toss bag"
(sounded like an honest mistake from Eddie)

1. How people toss the coin is inconsequential. It's either heads or tails, it doesn't actually matter.
2. Eddie was making what I presume to be a light-hearted jibe about members of the public not tossing the coin properly at games. Not a big deal in the slightest.
3. The member of the public on this particular occasion happened to be a double leg amputee. Classic Eddie gaffe. However he hasn't actually said anything wrong. A double leg amputee is still capable of tossing a coin.

Why does the lower placed team get to call the toss in the Grand Final when there is no home field advantage?

Just a complete piece of excrement of a person. Racist, sexist, arrogant, ignorant, stupid and now ableist, on top of just being generally intolerable as a human.
Should be fired from every job he has, mostly just for being a campaigner.

not sure how he got through that apology without a giggle, not at her disability just the situation he managed to get himself into again
Really? I couldn't tell.

Slow news day?
Shame on those who think double leg amputees are unable to toss a coin properly. They're just as capable as anyone else.
You seem to have issues.
Ableist.
Never heard that one.
I think media twerps need to fill a lot of time with their voice and some say stupid things on the fly that they wouldn't say if it were, say, you and I in normal conversation.
And then there's Eddie Maguire.

At any field there is a scoring end, depending on the wind.
They even toss the coin at Docklands stadium.... it is tradition... and teams sometimes prefer to kick towards their cheer squad in the first quarter.
I feel sorry for anyone who could give to f#&!s about this comment. Clearly an innocent mistake, go an find something real to be upset by

why
I’m a huge fan of Eddie Mcguire & his uncanny ability to boil the piss of almost the entire footballing community on a regular basis.
Hope he stays within the inner sanctum of the sport for decades to come.

No, just the modern day. Everything is scrutinised.
