Depends somewhat on the pole/broom design, I think. Could do something out of lightweight PVC, 5' or so long. I don't see this being all that much different than the trident from 2010.

I think we'd consider the flag outside the field, so the team putting the flag into the goal would not be able to put any more balls into play since a human player would not be able to put the flag back into play.
There's a good closing of loophole.
