Western Bulldogs premiership star Jason Johannisen has reportedly put contract talks with the club on hold until the end of the season.
AFL.com.au has reported the Bulldogs and Johannisen's management remain "a long way apart over the terms of a new contract".
Due to the two parties being unable to reach an agreement at the moment, negotiations will be put on hold until season's end.
