Melbourne\u2019s footy weekend has gotten a little more West Coast than usual after Snoop Dogg <\/a>was apparently spotted rolling through town in a lowrider, hitting pubs, and even stocking up at BWS. Only problem? It wasn\u2019t actually Snoop \u2014 it was his official doppelg\u00e4nger, Eric Finch, sent in to bamboozle the city ahead of the rapper\u2019s AFL Grand Final appearance.<\/p>\n After days of whispers and blurry \u201cSnoop sightings,\u201d Finch was unmasked on Thursday night at the Corner Hotel in Richmond, where he mingled with fans, posed for photos, and basically lived his best faux-Dogg life. With the uncanny looks and mannerisms down pat, it\u2019s easy to see why the city did a double take.<\/p>\n The stunt ties into Snoop\u2019s partnership with 19 Crimes Cali \u2013 the wine label that celebrates rule-breaking and rebellion \u2013 and the brand\u2019s plans for a stacked Grand Final Afterparty, where the real Snoop will drop a DJ set alongside Mowgli May. Fans who spot Finch cruising Melbourne this week can share their #CaliBySnoopSightings for a shot at afterparty tickets.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the real Snoop Dogg\u2019s set at the AFL grand final is set to\u00a0start at 1:43pm (AEST) today\u00a0\u2013 a little under one hour before the first bounce between Geelong\u00a0and Brisbane.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an absolute honour to be hitting the stage at the AFL Grand Final \u2014 it\u2019s one of the biggest events on the Aussie calendar,\u201d The D-O-double-G said in a press statement.<\/p>\n \u201cCan\u2019t wait to bring the energy and celebrate with the fans.
