ANDREW Demetriou remains footy's highest-paid man.
The AFL chief executive earned $1.88 million last year, including performance bonuses of $440,000.
It was about $80,000 more than he earned in 2011, but short of the $2.2 million that Demetriou took home in 2010.
The league's executive arm, made up of eight members, earned $4.5 million in salaries and bonuses.
Figures released yesterday show the AFL turned a profit of $6.7 million in 2012 and enjoyed record revenues of $425 million. It was a return to the black for the league after recording a lost of $23.6 million in 2011.
About $290 million was distributed among the 18 clubs.
AFL Commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick said club memberships were up nine per cent - to 707,621 - while TV audiences also jumped.
Fitzpatrick attributed a two per cent fall in attendances to the fact the AFL was playing more matches at smaller, boutique stadiums.
"That outcome was consistent with our expectations linked to the fact that expansion clubs Gold Coast Suns and the GWS Giants were participating in 20 per cent of the total number of games," Fitzpatrick said.
"That principle is why we were pleased to support an initiative of the St Kilda Football Club to play an historic first premiership season game outside Australia when the club takes on the Sydney Swans in Wellington, New Zealand, on Anzac Day."
Demetriou said that under a proposal for a "blockbuster tax" on big home-and-away games, where fans would pay more for a seat, the price for some tickets at low-demand games could be cut.
