Western Bulldogs premiership player Jason Johannisen was reportedly been involved in a minor scuffle at Crown on the weekend.

Channel 7 and Triple M journalist Tom Browne spoke to MMM's Hot Breakfast on Wednesday morning regarding the incident, which came about after a man apparently was caught filming Johannisen's partner.

The Dogs defender intervened, before being asked to leave the premises shortly after.

"Iโ€™ve done some digging on this overnight, speaking to his manager and the club," Browne began.

"I understand there was an altercation involving [Jason] Johannisen. (It was) not necessarily his fault, he was there with his partner in the early hours of the morning.

"Someone was filming his partner, which obviously Johannisen wasnโ€™t happy with, probably quite legitimately. He remonstrated with this particular person, there was a small scuffle and the Crown staff, in their wisdom to defuse the situation, quietly asked Johannisen to leave the premises, obviously with his partner.

"Thereโ€™s not really a suggestion he did anything wrong."

Co-host of the breakfast show Luke Darcy defended Johannisen's actions, suggesting he did the right thing by standing up for his partner.
