The homesick 22-year-old told the Lions last month he was willing to be traded home to his native state in a bid to ease the club's salary cap pressure.
Young said there had been speculation regarding West Coast's first draft pick of No.4 for Clark but wasn't sure if the Eagles were interested in securing another ruckman.
With Fremantle's first selection at No.20, Young believes it might be just too hard for the former No.9 draft pick to find his way home.
"I just don't think they have enough freight to offer Brisbane a suitable deal," he told Trade Week Radio on afl.com.au on Tuesday morning.
"Whether Carlton or another club can trade into that pick No.4 from West Coast or pinch Richmond's pick, I'm not too sure.
"I'd imagine Mitch will probably see out next year with Brisbane, hopefully have a good year and hopefully get a spot in the starting 22 that suits him."
Young said Clark preferred to play at centre half-forward as opposed to as a primary ruckman.
He also said it was unlikely the big man would be traded to a Melbourne-based club despite being a popular trade target a few years ago.
"He might do that but I just feel that at that stage a month ago he felt he needed a change and he would desperately like to come back to WA," he said.
"I haven't spoken to the Lions in great depth regarding Mitch because you wouldn't imagine with Gold Coast and their selections this year that Mitch would get done.
"But he has a contract and I don't think a deal will be done this week, but you never know."
Meanwhile, player manager Paul Connors confirmed he had spoken to Richmond about forward Brad Miller potentially continuing his career at Punt Road.
He said there might be a "little opportunity" alive for Miller to jump onto the Tigers' list.
"He wants to continue his career and we've been in discussions with Richmond. I don't think it will be a trade; we're looking at some other methods to get him there," Connors said.
"I think Brad's got a lot to offer on and off the field to a young Jack Riewoldt and also Ben Griffiths.
"He might play 10 games, he might play 15, he might only play five, but I can tell all those Tiger fans out there if he gets a chance and it comes off, that he'll add value."
Connors also said Sydney Swans premiership forward Paul Bevan was considering his options after being dumped for the semi final against the Bulldogs this year.
