Game #91 – Round 17, 1994 vs Geelong at Western Oval (16/7/1994)
Kicked 3.4 from 8k, 2hb in 28-point win over the Cats.
Turtle had a good tussle with Stephen O'Reilly all day.
This game was notable for Doug Hawkins breaking Ted Whitten's games record at the Bulldogs (321). Granty would go on to break Doug's record and then Johnno would break Granty's record.
Luckily the 1994 AFL season is well-documented on YouTube:

One of our best, kicking 3.2 from 15k, 3hb in 3-point loss to the Tigers.

Game #89 – Round 14, 1994 vs Fitzroy at Western Oval (25/6/1994)
BOG, kicking 6.4 from 18k, 4hb in 104-point win over the Lions, collecting 3 Brownlow votes.
Following the Dogs' big loss to Hawthorn in round 11, Grant then kicked five goals (in the 32-point win over Essendon), six (in the 74-point drubbing of Sydney) and six again against the Roys. Since settling at full-forward alongside resting ruckmen Ilija Grgic or Scott Wynd, his kicking improved, he led well into the corridor, and he was marking strongly and surely. Much of the difference, Turtle said, was in the delivery from his teammates.

Game #88 – Round 13, 1994 vs Sydney at Western Oval (19/6/1994)
One of our best, kicking 6.2 from 16k, 2hb in 74-point win over the Swans, collecting 1 Brownlow vote.
Footscray was far superior, especially in the second half.The best example of Footscray's dominance of the third term was that Sydney took five marks for the quarter, the same number as Bulldog full-forward Chris Grant.
Granty seemed to have found his niche at full-forward, finishing with six goals, probably not a true reflection on his 11 marks and 16 kick performance.
Highlights from this match kick off from around the 28:00 minute mark:

Game #87 – Round 12, 1994 vs Essendon at Waverley Park (13/6/1994)
BOG, kicking 5.2 from 14k, 5hb in 28-point win over the Bombers, collecting 2 Brownlow votes. This was a Queens Birthday classic that even the old dear herself would have enjoyed.
In this game, Granty took a giant leap towards fulfilling his potential, kicking four matchwinning goals in the third quarter and five for the game.
This game was also notable for Tim Watson being reported for striking Bulldogs's ball-player Tony Liberatore. The incident led to a heated half-time melee. Watson was later cleared by the tribunal thanks to Libba's evidence.
A very enjoyable watch:

One of our best, kicking 3.2 from 10k, 3hb in 64-point loss to the Hawks.
The Age made a strange comment after the game: "Chris Grant remains an outstanding flanker, not a key-position forward."
An injured Jason Dunstall kicked his usual 10 goals against the Doggies.

BOG, kicking 0.4 from 13k, 5hb in 12-point loss to the Blues, collecting 3 Brownlow votes.
The Bulldogs, after kicking into a stiff wind in the opening quarter, trailed by just nine points at the break but then made a horrible mess of things when they booted 2.9 with the breeze in the second quarter. The talented, but erratic Chris Grant was the chief offender while rookie Daniel Hargraves, after snaring one with his first kick in league football, also went wide of the mark.

Game #84 – Round 9, 1994 vs West Coast at Western Oval (21/5/1994)
Kicked 0.1 from 7k, 5hb in 31-point loss to the Eagles.
In a match with sure hands, impeccable judgment and a little guesswork at a premium due to the howling wind, Glen Jakovich had the better of
Chris Grant in a dirty day for the aerialists.

Game #83 – Round 8, 1994 vs Melbourne at MCG (15/5/1994)
Kicked 2.0 from 11k, 4hb in three-point win over the Dees.
In the first half, Melbourne overwhelmed Footscray with a king-size forward line of Garry Lyon, Jim Stynes, David Schwarz and David Neitz, gambling successfully on leaving Chris Grant to the inexperienced Paul Prymke. Lyon had four goals by half-time, Schwarz was plucking marks as if they were apples, and it needed Grant's goal on the run, inspiration through desperation, to contain the margin to 22 points. Alan Joyce made some adjustments and by three-quarter-time Ilija Grgic had kicked six goals and Neitz had retreated to centre half-back to guard Grant.
You can watch the thrilling final quarter courtesy of Rhett Bartlett:

BOG, kicking 1.4 from 16k, 6hb in 37-point win over the Bears, collecting 3 Brownlow votes.
Chris Grant was exhilarating in the second half. Turtle never lacked endeavour and his sudden impact was extraordinary. In the third quarter he pulled down six marks, gathered 11 possessions and finally corrected his mystifyingly innaccurate kicking to score one of three Footscray goals. Martin Leslie was banished, Craig Starcevich too, Richard Champion lasted but 15 minutes in the final term until Matthew Kennedy took a turn at trying to curb him.
Highlights in full Ilija-vision are at the 15-min mark:

State of Origin 1994 - Victoria vs South Australia at Football Park (3/5/1994)
Kicked 0.1 from 10k, 7hb in 2-point loss to the Croweaters.
The early injury to skipper Garry Lyon forced Victoria to rotate a string of players through centre half-forward. Chris Grant, Mil Hanna and David Neitz were all tried, but with little success.
Regarded as one of the greatest games of Aussie rules ever played:

Game #81 – Round 5, 1994 vs Adelaide at Football Park (24/4/1994)
Kicked 3.0 from 10k, 2hb in 17-point win over the Crows.
Granty, along with Alan Thorpe and Richard Osborne, provided headaches for the Crows all day.
In the words of Doug Hawkins: "I missed that game. It was the only game I missed all year, and it was in Adelaide. It would have been lovely to be over there, watching about 20- or 30,000 crow-eaters walking off halfway through the last quarter. What a great feeling."
'Twas the day of Danny Southern's first goal in the AFL:
