00:00 I'm joined by Dom Occapinti ahead of his Warrnambool Seahawks comeback on the weekend in CBL.

00:04 Dom, you looking forward to it?

00:05 Looking forward to it, mate.

00:07 It should be good.

00:08 We've got a great group of boys and it should be fun.

00:10 How do you reckon you guys get?

00:12 It's a pretty young group.

00:13 You're one of the older fellas at 22.

00:14 22 now, all the others are in their teenage years, so you've got to keep up with them.

00:19 But it should be fun.

00:20 They're all a good group of boys, so I hope they'll go all the way.

00:24 Do you reckon there's a good chance to do that this year?

00:26 Definitely.

00:27 We've got a lot of talent and I might not have too much hype, but we'll run the talk.

00:33 And you've had a few years off, have you?

00:35 Five years or so off?

00:36 Yeah, about four years off of basketball.

00:39 So it should be good to get back into it and see where it goes and hopefully maybe Big B next season.

00:47 Did you miss it though in that time?

00:48 100%.

00:49 So it'll be good to be back.

00:51 And it was Tim that brought you back?

00:53 Well, yeah, not necessarily, but Tim did mention a few times, you know, he can't play CBL.

00:57 So it definitely helped him being the head coach and everything.

01:01 So you can say that, yeah.

01:03 And you love being a part of the Warrnambool Seahawks club?

01:05 Definitely.

01:06 Great team, great organisation.

01:08 Been through it since under 12, so it should be fun.

01:12 Good luck for Ararat on the weekend.

01:13 Thank you.
