Any sort of Goalie attachment would be a good idea. Teams like versatility, even if that versatility is never used. Just adding something that is different will make your bot look better to everyone else.

It's also my opinion that people are discounting how good a goalie could be in teleop. The further away a robot shoots, the more time a drive has to react to that shot to block it. Even if another robot comes to block you from blocking the shot, that is taking one robot out of the opposing alliances strategy.

Maybe this is just wishful thinking but I bet that there will be a few matches this year in which a goalie locks down the offense completely. You only have to block one ball at a time and you have a pretty good idea of where that shot is going if you watch the shooting bot. 6" is small but very workable.
