Trouble scraping html in R. rvest "Refresh Error" -


i'm trying scrape table of website: http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_match_statistics?mid=5965

i use read_html() in rvest library in order parse html , find looking there produces error.

refresh error

i've tried rcurl, httr , xml libraries , respective parsing functions either empty string or "refresh error".

the strange thing can scrape home page http://www.footywire.com/ , many subsidiaries fine no errors.

what doing wrong? has data been blocked way i'm not aware of. note: data analyst not web developer wouldn't surprised if there glaringly obvious i'm missing.
