Sharland continued as a journalist and commentator after ending his VFL career.
In 1933 he left The Sporting Globe to concentrate on wireless broadcasting for the ABC and later 3XY.
It is believed that Victorian Football Association club Preston became known as the Bullants after Sharland referred to the club's players during commentary as a "group of busy bullants".
The quote was based on the Preston players being small in stature and the fact they wore a red uniform.
