[5] He struggled to hold his place in the side, playing only four games in 2013 and six in 2014, before an impressive performance against Brisbane Lions in Round 22 earned him a nomination for the 2014 AFL Rising Star.

Playing as Fremantle's only tall forward due to captain Matthew Pavlich's late withdrawal due to injury, Taberner collected 24 disposals, took 10 marks and kicked a goal as Fremantle thrashed Brisbane by 58 points.

Starting off the 2018 season in strong form, he fractured a metatarsal bone in his left foot in the Round 5 clash with the Western Bulldogs.

He later returned, after 15 weeks recovering from his injury, in time for the Round 20 Western Derby against West Coast.

His standout game came against GWS in Round 5, where he kicked 3.3, amassed 21 disposals, took 13 marks, and was arguably Fremantle's best player on the day.

[8] Unfortunately, his 2019 season came to an abrupt end as a result of a stress fracture in his left foot, after the Round 9 clash with Essendon.

Round five of the 2022 AFL season saw Taberner receive much praise for his performance against Essendon at Marvel Stadium kicking a career-best seven goal haul.

[14] After missing most of 2023 due to injury, Taberner returned to Fremantle's line-up in round two of the 2024 AFL season against North Melbourne, as a replacement for injured forward Brennan Cox.
