Backing his chairman John Witheriff's declaration that the young club would win a premiership in the next three years, Blight, the Suns' coaching advisor, said the team was "absolutely" capable of being competitive within that timeframe.
"We're on the way," Blight told radio 1116 SEN on Tuesday morning.
"There is a bit of a storm coming. I can sense it. I can feel it."
The difference in training is enormous. They (the SUNS players) are 20-21 now; they're men.
"They're coming. I can smell it.
"The other thing is, there are a lot of boys with a lot of pride, and you get sick of losing.
After two years of growth, I can see us winning a lot more games. We're going to be a nuisance.
Gold Coast SUNS won just three games in each of its first two AFL seasons, but Blight had no issue with pressure being placed on players and coaches via the '20-ONE-3' strategic plan, unveiled last Friday.
"I thought it was a very good initiative; I supported it," he said.
But we've been trying to win one (a premiership) for the last two years, as silly as it seems.
"You don't start the season not to try and win some games of footy and turn up in September.
"All he (Witheriff) has done is made it public.
"We've thought it internally for a while."
Blight, a back-to-back premiership coach with Adelaide in 1997-98, said SUNS coach Guy McKenna had been aware of the vision through its development, and was comfortable with it.
He said McKenna, like his players, had improved in his four years at the helm.
He's been there from day one, and he's grown nicely, too, Blight said.
"Four years he's been at the club, so he knows the boys backwards.
"His coaching methods and the discussions we're having now are much wider and varied compared to what we were having four years ago."
