Saturday's Richmond Oval clash will see the Blues meet Clarence, the only scalp they are yet to claim this season.
Groenewegen will replace rested ruckman Tim Auckland while debutant Foley will follow in the footsteps of father Geoff, a 154-game defender and former Blues vice-captain.
Launceston coach Mitch Thorp said the 17-year-old St Patrick's student had been hovering on the cusp of selection for weeks.
"He's one of our young Launceston people who's had a fantastic year in the development league," Thorp said.
"We're rewarding effort and like Isaac Hyatt a couple of weeks ago, we want to make sure our young people are experiencing senior footy and we've got one eye on 2021 as well to make sure that our next crop get a taste.
"We've been trying to get him in over the past few weeks but it's been really difficult with the level of depth that we've had and he finds his opportunity this week which is really great for the football club.
"Sam is very similar to his dad - a hard-as-nails defender, he's a very strong young boy so he can play forward and back, I think you'll see him in both roles this week."
Groenewegen's call-up is a result of months of discipline and determination.
A 115-gamer with Launceston, the 28-year-old was just weeks away from round one and his first Blues game in four years when he suffered a broken leg in training.
After months of rehab and three development league games, the son of former North Launceston premiership ruck-forward Robert will get the chance to cement his spot in the senior side ahead of finals.
Thorp confirmed the league's hit-out king Auckland, who sat out the second half of last week's win over North Hobart, would return for the Blues' preliminary final, but said playing two rucks in finals would not be out of the question.
"Tim's done an an enormous amount of work in the ruck this year and it's a good opportunity to get Joe in and play," Thorp said.
"I think Tim's done enough work [to keep his spot] but Joe's a very good player and he's won two best and fairests and two premierships here.
"So that's why we've given him the opportunity this week to put his hand up so he's definitely available for selection for the first final, it'll just be dependent on performance.
"We've got a nice deep list and a lot of players in development league that have been senior players, so the pressure's on and this is the last opportunity for players to put their hand up and show what they can do leading into the finals series."

BIG BOMBER DOWN
Lauderdale's big win over Glenorchy on Wednesday night was soured by a serious ankle injury to ruckman Haydn Smith.
The ex-Western Storm big man went down in a ruck contest early in the second term and lay on the ground for several minutes before being stretchered off and later taken to hospital in an ambulance.
Robbie McManus also suffered a shoulder injury as the Southern Bombers kicked the remaining six goals of the game to win 10.13 (73) to 2.8 (20).
Meanwhile, Magpie Zac Webster has been offered a two-game ban, reduced to one week with an early guilty plea, for a head-high strike on Lauderdale co-captain Bryce Walsh.
