Former AFL umpire Dean Margetts is the face of a new campaign launching today to educate people against umpire abuse at the community level.

Margetts, the WA Football Commission's WAFL and WAFLW Umpiring Operations Manager, told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast he believed the campaign, featuring powerful advertisements, will have some impact.

"Maybe these ads can bring [bad behaviour] to the front of the line and create some change," he said, after relaying a recent story of umpire abuse at a year 7 game.
