The 24-year-old is a two-time premiership Bomber having won flags in 2015 and 2017, but missed the 2014 and 2018 grand final victories through injury.
Having recovered from a broken neck in time to put in a full pre-season, the state under-25 player has enjoyed a typically strong season in 2019 and is looking forward to the challenge of another decider against Lauderdale.
FINALS FEVER
"I'm pretty excited - obviously I've been and done it before in the past so it's just another game of footy," he said.
"It's always good to be playing footy this time of the year when the sun comes out, I look forward to it."
One of only a handful to have been at North for each of the club's six consecutive grand finals, Foon said he was just happy to have helped play a role in the Bombers' success.
"It's obviously going to be good to sit back and look at it in 20, 30, 40 years time so [I'm] proud of the group.
"Obviously it differs a bit - there's a fair few changes coming in and out each year - but it's good to be a part of it."
