The 26-point win elevated the Magpies into third spot on the ladder – and a showdown with the Murrurundi Mavettes in the play-offs at Pirtek Park, Singleton, later this week.
Blackadder opened the scoring but Aberdeen hit back through Gracie Gallen to go to the break locked at 4-all.
The second half was all one-way traffic as Blackadder grabbed another two four-pointers, while Dimity Parker snared a double.
Maddie Blackadder also touched down.
And, three goals to Casey Payne put the icing on the triumph in the penultimate round.
The Muswellbrook Ramettes hammered Singleton 38-4 and the Mavettes pipped the Denman She-Devils 8-6.
